4. Registration certificate of the company: You must obtain a registration document showing that the company has been registered. This document is an official identification document of the company and is necessary for it to do business.

5. Company cost accounts: You must submit a cost account showing the financial situation and activities of the company. These accounts are a document that provides information about the financial situation of the company.

6. Tax registration of the company: In order for the company to be a taxpayer, you must register for tax. This registration is necessary for the company to pay taxes and file tax returns.

7. Business permits: Companies operating in some sectors are required to obtain special permits. For example, companies operating in sectors such as finance, healthcare and education are required to obtain additional permits. In addition to these documents, there may be other documents and permits that the company must have. There may be different requirements depending on the industry in which the business operates and the structure of the company. It is therefore recommended that the business be supported by a local consultant or lawyer.
